Sharon Valley Road Roundabout

The Sharon Valley Road roundabout is now OPEN!

The new bike path will remain closed until the installation of the hand rail is complete.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The City intends to address the traffic issues along the Sharon Valley Road corridor, particularly at Country Club Drive, King Road, and Evans Boulevard. Funding is not available to address all locations at a single time, so improvements must be completed in phases. The City decided to seek funding for the construction of the Roundabout at Evans Boulevard, first, for the following reasons:

Earmarked funds in the amount of over $140,000 were deposited by the City School District to help improve the intersection, when necessary, when the schools were constructed.

This is the only ingress/egress for all Legend Elementary School and Liberty Middle School traffic.

School locations are ranked higher when applying for grant funding.

No impacts to residential properties.

A roundabout at this location will help reduce vehicle speeds on Sharon Valley Road, which will benefit users of the Schools, as well as users of, the TJ Evans Athletic Complex, North Newark Little League, Lou & Gib Reese Ice Arena, and Rotary Park.
